The army 6 Division covers Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers.

The army spokesman said that thugs believed to be working for some politicians had been armed to the teeth to disrupt the February 23 and March 9 elections in some areas.

According him, credible intelligence available to the division’s headquarters uncovered an unholy plan by some political actors within the division’s area of responsibility to arm and sponsor miscreants.

He said: “This plan is in addition to using military-like fatigue dress for deception to cause pandemonium at polling stations for their political gain.

"The division wishes to unequivocally state that anyone found to be disrupting the electoral process under any guise will be decisively dealt with. Such individuals will be dealt with in accordance with the laws no matter how highly placed he or she may be.

"The general officer commanding 6 division, Maj.-Gen. Jamil Sarham, wishes to reassure the people of Niger Delta of adequate security in conjunction with other security agencies before, during and after the elections."

The army spokesman commended the people for their cooperation and assistance, urging them to remain peaceful and law-abiding. The reports claimed that the army 6 division covers Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Nigerian Army said none of its officer will be involved in any political campaign, escort any political personality, or support any political party as it was reported on some popular platforms.

The force made this known through Sagir Musa, its acting director of army public relations, in a press release on Monday, February 18, as a response to the allegation of political involvement of the military in Rivers state.

The Army said though it had given a fuller and more detailed press release to that effect, it is necessary that it restates its position on the issue. It said that in the 2019 general elections, the force is only responsible for the provision of a violence-free environment for the conduct of the exercise.
